Auditors and Auditors’ Report
M/s. Gokhale & Sathe, Chartered Accountants, in their Reportto the Members, have given the following qualified opinion andthe response of the Administrator with respect to them are asfollows: -
1. We draw attention to Note no. 47 (b) to the Statementwhich explains that the amount of the claims includingclaims on account of corporate guarantees invoked,admitted or to be admitted by the Administrator maydiffer from the amount reflecting in the books of accountof the Parent Company. Pending implementation ofapproved resolution plan, no adjustments have beenmade in the books for the differential amounts, if any, inthe claims admitted as on the date of the financial resultsas compared to the liabilities reflected in the books ofaccount of the Parent Company.
2. We draw attention to Note no. 47 (c) of the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements which explains that in view of thepending implementation of approved resolution plan,the Parent Company has provided for interest expensewhich may be applicable on the financial debt only uptoDecember 06, 2021. Accordingly, interest expense forthe year ended March 31,2024 amounting to ' 1,60,085lakh has not been recognized. Had such interest beenrecognized, the profit before tax for the year endedMarch 31, 2024 would have been lower by ' 1,60,085lakh respectively. Further, the aggregate interestexpense not recognized by the Parent Company postDecember 6, 2021 is ' 3,70,007 lakh. And had such
interest been recognized, the net worth of the Group asat March 31,2024 would have been lower by ' 3,70,007lakh.
3. We have been informed that certain information includingthe minutes of meetings of the Committee of Creditors(CoC) are confidential in nature and accordingly hasnot been shared with us. The Administrator and themanagement have confirmed that the CoC discussionsheld during the year do not have any implications onthe financial statements since resolution plan is yet toapproved by CoC.
4. In respect of Reliance Corporate Advisory ServicesLimited (“RCASL”), as per the independent auditor'sreport, interest on borrowings for the year endedMarch 31, 2024, to the tune of ' 16,582 lakh hasnot been provided for as required under Ind AS 23“Borrowing Costs”. Had such interest been provided, thereported loss for the year would have been higher by?16,582 lakh. Further, the auditor is unable to commenton the realisability of outstanding loans and advancesof ' 71,350 lakh (of which ' 8,027 lakh has beenprovided for) and investment of ' 42,500 lakh as atMarch 31,2024.
5. We draw attention to Note no. 46 (a) of the Statementwhich explains that the Parent Company has beenadmitted under the CIRP process effective December06, 2021 and as stipulated under Section 20 of the IBC,it is incumbent upon the Administrator to manage theoperations of the Parent Company as a going concern.The Administrator had filed an application before theNCLT for approval of resolution plan submitted by IIHLwhich was approved by the NCLT on February 27, 2024(“Approved Resolution Plan”). Accordingly, the financialresults for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2024have been prepared on going concern basis. However,the Parent Company has defaulted in repayment of theobligations to the lenders and debenture holders whichis outstanding, has incurred losses during the periodas well as during the previous periods, has reportednegative net worth as at March 31, 2024 and previousperiods, and as described in Note no. 19 (a) the assetcover for listed secured non-convertible debenturesof the Parent Company has fallen below one hundredpercent. An application has also been filed with the NCLTseeking an extension of 90 days from May 27, 2024 forthe implementation of the Approved Resolution Plan.These events indicate that material uncertainty exists,that may cast significant doubt on the Parent Company'sability to continue as a going concern.
